The baseplate 1.1 is supported by four hydraulic legs 1.3 which are connected to the rams 1.2, where the rams 1.2 are ejected by four horizontal cylinders; and the baseplate may be entirely shipped by the trailer, and may be adjusted by the left-right adjustment device 1.4 and the front-rear adjustment device 1.5 to directly face the wellhead. The palletizing manipulator 2.4 is provided within the silo, where the palletizing manipulator 2.4 grabs the oil pipe as left-right and up-down movements of a horizontal beam 2.3 and a vertical beam 2.1. Two sides of the silo are provided with the balancing device 2.5, so as to balance dead weights of the horizontal and the vertical guide rails. The palletizing manipulator 2.4 mainly palletizes the oil pipe in the silo and places the oil pipe onto the detecting and conveying device 5 or the transfer device 6. The two sides of the silo are the detecting and conveying device 5 and the transfer device 6, separately. The detecting and conveying device 5 is at a side close to the wellhead, and is responsible for measuring length of the oil pipe, positioning, and leading in and out the oil pipe. The transfer device 6 is at another side of the silo, and is responsible for leading in and out the oil pipe.
The random-folding type traveling block rigid guide device 3 is mounted on the baseplate 1.1, and is located at side of the truck-mounted folding type oil pipe manipulator 4 and the wellhead. Both the guide-roller type elevator 7 and the hydraulic pipe tongs are mounted on this device, where the entirety is a rigid device, so as to make sure central positions of the pipe tongs and the guide-roller type elevator 7, thereby effectively avoiding interference on ascending and descending of the oil pipe because of external natural factors. When in a transportation status, the random-folding type traveling block rigid guide device 3 may drive a car 3.9-8 by a hydraulic motor 3.9-1 in a driving device 3.9 by using a decelerator 3.9-2, a coupling 3.9-3, a shaft 3.9-4, a sprocket 3.9-5, and a chain 3.9-7, where the car 3.9-8 pushes the guide rail 3.4 to rotate around the shaft 3.2 by using a connecting rod, and is folded and placed in the baseplate 1, thereby facilitating transportation.
The truck-mounted folding type oil pipe manipulator 4 includes the pendulum 4.1, the swinging manipulator 4.2, and the flexible manipulator 4.3. The pendulum 4.1 is divided into two parts, where one part is fixed at a side of the baseplate 1 that is close to the wellhead, and the other part is driven by the oil cylinder to rotate around the fixed part by using the shaft, so as to achieve entire folding and placing, thereby facilitating transportation. A side of the pendulum 4.1 is mounted with a locking cylinder to lock the swinging manipulator 4.2, where the swinging manipulator 4.2 is connected to the pendulum 4.1 through the shaft. An oil cylinder is mounted within the swinging manipulator 4.2, so as to pull, by using the oil cylinder, the chain to enable the swinging manipulator 4.2 to rotate around the pendulum 4.1. The arm of the swinging manipulator 4.2 is mounted with a chain tensioning device, so as to tension the chain. The flexible manipulator 4.3 is mounted at the top end of the swinging manipulator 4.2, is connected by using the shaft, and is driven by the chain to rotate around the shaft together with the swinging manipulator 4.2. The four grippers of the flexible manipulator 4.3 are driven by an oil cylinder through the rack, so as to make sure synchronism of the four grippers. The flexible manipulator 3 is mounted with an elevating oil cylinder, so as to elevate the grippers and the oil pipe when the grippers grab the oil pipe. The truck-mounted folding type oil pipe manipulator 4 cooperates with the detecting and conveying device 5 and the guide-roller type elevator 7, is responsible for ascending and descending the oil pipe, and may convert the oil pipe in a horizontal status into a vertical status. When in the transportation status, the truck-mounted folding type oil pipe manipulator 4 may drive the pendulum to turn over by using an overturning oil cylinder, and the pendulum may be folded within the baseplate 1 after turning over, thereby facilitating transportation.
The swing frame 5.1 of the detecting and conveying device 5 is mounted on the swing arms 5.3 for connecting and placing the oil pipe. The length measuring oil cylinder 5.2 is mounted below the swing frame 5.1, the oil pipe is positioned through the shrinkage and extension of the length measuring oil cylinder 5.2, and then the length of the oil pipe is measured by using the linear encoder. The two swing arms 5.3 are connected by the cross beam 5.4 so as to be synchronous. The swing arms 5.3 are further connected to the base 5.5 by using the shaft, and are driven by a swing oil pipe 5.6 to swing around the base 5.5, so as to lead the oil pipe into and out from the silo. When in the transportation status, the oil cylinder is pushed to extend out completely, so that an end surface of the conveying swing arms 5.3 is in contact with the base 5.5, and the conveying swing arms 5.3 drive the swing frame 5.1 to be within a conventional transportation width.
The base 6.6 of the transfer device 6 is fixed at a side of the silo body 2 that is far away from the wellhead. The sucker rods of the oil pipe are placed on the forwarding swing arm 6.1. The forwarding swing arm 6.1 is pushed by the swinging oil cylinder 6.2 to turn over. A distance from the front to the rear of the push plate 6.4 is adjusted, so that when the slide block 6.3 is lifted by the lifting oil cylinder 6.5, only one sucker rod of the oil pipe is allowed to be lifted by the slide block 6.3 and the forwarding swing arm 6.1 is pushed by the swinging oil cylinder 6.2 to be vertical in the transportation status.
The guide pulley 7.1 of the guide-roller type elevator 7 is fixed on the guide plate 7.2, and moves up and down along the guide rail, thereby achieving rigid guide of the guide-roller type elevator. An oil cylinder 7.3 is connected to the push rod 7.4 to push the swing block 7.9, so as to drive the holding sleeve 7.6 to clamp and loosen the pipe ferrule of the oil pipe, thereby ensuring synchronism of the clamping and loosening of the pipe ferrule by the holding sleeve 7.6. The holding sleeve 7.6 may be changed according to the different models of the oil pipe. The elevator body 7.5 and the pin shaft 7.7 are connected by using the suspension ring 7.8, so that installation is more convenient. One side of the guide pulley 7.1 is provided with a quick detachable structure which may be detached and separately placed while being transported. The slip 8 is connected to the wellhead, and achieves clamping and loosening of the oil pipe through locking an opening of the oil cylinder.
The entire machine is in the transportation status while being folded, and is in a working status while being expanded. The pendulum 4.1 of the truck-mounted folding type oil pipe manipulator rotates around a shaft on the pendulum base under actions of the sucker rods, so that a connection end surface of the pendulum and the boom achieves conversion between the vertical and the horizontal statuses. It is the working status when the connection end surface is in a vertical status to the ground, and it is the transportation status when the connection end surface is in a horizontal status. At this time, the boom 4.2 and the flexible manipulator 4.3 are located within the silo body which is above the baseplate assembly 1; and a front section of the boom is supported by a support rod. The random-folding type traveling block rigid guide device 3 enables, under driving of the hydraulic motor 3.9-1, the pendulum 3.2 to rotate on the base 3.1 by using the 3.3 as a center, thereby achieving a conversion between the working status and the transportation status. When in the transportation status, the random-folding type traveling block rigid guide device 3 is entirely located within the silo body which is above the baseplate assembly 1. When an internal oil cylinder completely extends out, the detecting and conveying device 5 erects the device and shrinks the same to be within a transportation width of 2.5 m. Meanwhile, positioning pins at a rear end of a V-shaped angle iron for length measurement at two ends are opened, and positioning pins at a front end are locked. The oil cylinder shrinks the V-shaped angle iron at the two ends to be within a width range of two hydraulic legs, where a base anchor of the hydraulic legs may be shrinks to be above a bottommost surface of the baseplate assembly 1. Hereto, the entire auxiliary machine satisfies requirements for appearance and size of the conventional transportation status.
The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Other equivalent replacements applying the spirit of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
